Won't be surprised if Shane Buechele emerges from locker room for 2nd half wearing a No. 12 jersey and a cape.
— Max Olson (@max_olson) April 16, 2016
2:38:
Halftime in Austin: Buechele looks good, the defensive line is thin and don't believe everything you read in anonymous practice reports.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
2:37:
Collin Johnson has had a mixed day.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016

2:32:
The Baylor Shadowboxer, DeShon Elliott, with a punishing hit to force a fumble there by Hot Rod Bernard.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
DeShon Elliott brought the heavy lumber with that hit on Roderick Bernard.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
2:30:
Shane Buechele is the guy. That much is obvious. Still would like to see what Jerrod Heard brings when he comes back.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
So far, Shane Buechele is 19-for-36 for 278 with 2 TDs and 0 INTs.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016

2:27:
Another strike by Buechele to John Burt for a 65-yard TD pass. Any questions?
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
2:26:
Shane Buechele with the play of the day, a dazzling 65-yard touchdown pass to John Burt. Any more questions?

Foreman’s touchdown from earlier.
2:21:
Texas has a stud punter in Michael Dickson.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
Texas punter Michael Dickson is averaging 45.2 yards per boot. Longest went 65 yards. He's been solid today.

Swoopes connects with Jacorey Warrick for 45 yards down the sideline, but Horns are stopped. Texas leads 14-7 with 6:39 in the first half.
— Texas Football (@TexasFootball) April 16, 2016
Nice touch by Swoopes on deep ball to Warrick.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
2:17:
2:16:
The rain has picked up at DKR and fans are headed for cover.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
2:15:
Make of this what you will. But we still haven't seen Kai Locksley yet.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
2:13:
Walk-ons now in, effectively rendering the game over. Great days by the two running backs and by Buechele, who will only progress from here.

Another great throw by Buechele. 41 yards to John Burt.

1:49:
1Q over. 7+ drives so far. Two Texas touchdowns, both with Buechele at the controls.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
Eight drives in the first quarter. We could be here awhile.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
In five series, Swoopes' team has yet to score, but two dropped TD passes.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016

Chris Warren picking up right where he left off at home against Texas Tech. He's a load.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
1:42:
Some kid named Evan Moore hit the extra point. *scrambling to learn more about him*
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
Chris Warren looks so much bigger than the guys trying to tackle him. Great balance in the open field for a big guy.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016

Whoa. Chris Warren III just ripped off a 51-yard touchdown run.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
Chris Warren breaks off 51-yard TD run against No. 2 defense.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
Shane Buechele looks very comfortable out there. That TD pass to Armanti Foreman was quality. Foreman is also having a monster game.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016

1:38:
Buechele showing something.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
On game's sixth drive, Shane Buechele lofts one to end zone to Armanti Foreman over solid coverage from Holton Hill. We have points.
— Ryan Autullo (@AutulloAAS) April 16, 2016
And with a flick of the wrist, Shane Buechele hits Armanti Foreman for a 27-yard TD. UT's first score in six drives.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
Buechele throws Coltian TD pass to Armanti Foreman for 27-yard score against starting CB Holton Hill. First score of day.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
1:37:
The Weber Grills Spring Game is moving at a much quicker pace than the old Dunkin' Donuts Spring Games.
— Mike Finger (@mikefinger) April 16, 2016
1:36:
Buechele threads the needle to Lorenzo Joe (remember him?) for 11 yards and first down. Nice.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016

Offseason fix! Orange and White game #hookem @ Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium -… https://t.co/vwa75BsWZU

1:31:
We praise Foreman and Warren for tough running. But Tristan Houston is delivering some blows out there, too.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
1:29:
Surprised none of the offensive lineman didn't confront Quincy Vasser after he got a little physical with QB Tyrone Swoopes.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
Five series so far, zero points.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
Tyrone Swoopes has had two very well-thrown balls either dropped or intercepted. Neither was his fault. Burt, McNeal failed him.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
1:28:
Antwuan Davis, who is fighting for playing time at CB, with play of the game coming up with INT in end zone covering DeAndre McNeal.
— Ryan Autullo (@AutulloAAS) April 16, 2016
1:27:
Antwuan Davis steals ball from DeAndre McNeal, who had pass in hands but bobbled it as he went down at goal-line.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
1:26:
Defensive end Quincy Vasser spins around Swoopes with, uh, lots of enthusiasm.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
Wow, Quincy Vasser just slung Swoopes around like a rag doll. So yes, the QBs are fair game today.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
1:25
Dickson shows off his big leg after the Horns are stopped. Texas will begin at their own 20 for their third drive of the afternoon.
— Texas Football (@TexasFootball) April 16, 2016
1:24:
Ryan Newsome back to return punt. Catches the ball at the 1 and runs out of bounds. Let's pray he's practicing catching phase only.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
Ryan Newsome didn't help his cause as a punt returner by catching that punt on the 1-yard line. Those are the plays that get you beat.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
1:23:
Time left on the play clock on 2nd and 3rd down: 28 and 21 seconds, respectively. Quick three-and-out.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
1:21:
Through three series the pace of the offense is exactly what we were told it would be — fast. Hard to keep up from a reporter's standpoint.
— Ryan Autullo (@AutulloAAS) April 16, 2016
1:20:
Texas on the scoreboard, which is the 1st offense, is stopped on fourth down. Horns on the scoreboard, the 2nd offense will take over.
— Texas Football (@TexasFootball) April 16, 2016
1:18:
Texas 0-3 in scoring on its first three possessions, two by Buechele.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
Chris Warren running hard as usual. Texas has two solid RBs.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
1:18:

1:17:
Some early confusion. Buechele threw to John Burt, who was blocking a DB.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
1:16:
Lineman Alex Anderson got rolled up upon on that last play. Just limped off.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
1:15:
Shane Buechele doesn't have a gun but he displayed a nice deep touch on that 32-yard pass to Dorian Leonard.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
1:14:
Nice pump fake pass to Dorian Leonard by Shane Buechele for 32 yards.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
Buechele, who hit Leonard for a 32-yard gain, was sacked by Omenihu for a 3-yard loss. They're going all the way to the ground.

Not a good start. Two penalties in first four plays, dropped TD pass by Burt. Nice tackle by Sheroid Evans. D'Onta Foreman a stud.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
D'Onta Foreman's 28-yard run highlights the first drive. But now Shane Buechele coming out with 2s vs. 1s on defense. Here comes Malik.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
Tyrone Swoopes can't throw it much better than that. Burt with the uncharacteristic drop.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
1:10:
D'Onta Foreman with a 28-yard run on the first drive of the game, but Texas has to punt. Dickson's punt is downed at the Horns' 13.
— Texas Football (@TexasFootball) April 16, 2016
1:09:
Not sure what to make of it, but celebrated freshman Collin Johnson not with first-team offense during first series.
— Ryan Autullo (@AutulloAAS) April 16, 2016
1:08:
Two offensive flags on the the first three plays.
— Brian Davis (@BDavisAAS) April 16, 2016
John Burt drops perfectly thrown bomb from Tyrone Swoopes.
— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) April 16, 2016
1:06:
D'Onta Foreman still looks sneaky fast. 28-yard burst on the first play. They need him to be Ced Benson this fall.
— Cedric Golden (@CedGolden) April 16, 2016
1:05:
Longhorns open with Tyrone Swoopes running 1st-team offense. Looks like the 2s on defense.
